AGPT IBIZA - PETE TONG B2B ANDREA OLIVA

undefined

As the Ibiza season starts to heat up Pete Tong returns to take the temperature of the White Isle and catalog this season’s biggest tunes with his annual All Gone Pete Tong Ibiza compilation. This season’s mix takes a new twist, as the compilation sees Pete go back to back with one of Ibiza’s fastest rising talents, Andrea Oliva. The two played a thrilling backtoback set at Pete’s All Gone Pete Tong Miami pool party a few months ago, paving the way for the birth of the 2016 mix. Oliva, has gone from strength to strength in the last few years, notching releases on labels like Objektivity, Defected, Viva Music, Mobilee, among others, and minting a reputation as one of Ibiza’s most in demand DJs through his weekly headlining at Ushuaia Ibiza’s ANTS party and guest slots at Space Ibiza. With releases on Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep in Sound and The Martinez Brothers’ Cuttin’ Headz later this year, it’s little wonder Pete earmarked him as one of this year’s breakout Ibiza acts, and asked him to join him on the AGPT compilation. Few individuals in the world of dance music can cl the kind of influence Pete Tong has had over the last twenty years. With an unparalleled ear for new talent, Tong is the leading tastemaker of the electronic generation and this compilation is another master class in curation. The mix is tailor- made for a dreamy, mystical Ibiza sunset, rising from Lee Burridge and Lost Desert’s melodic, spanish guitar strumming on ‘Stand Up Right’, into the energetic and whirling peak time thriller ‘Captivate’ from Patrick Topping in the middle. Patrice Baumel, Lee Van Dowski, and Kink add depth and forward momentum with their entries, pushing the narrative to a climactic conclusion. Of course, Andrea Oliva rears his head musically as well, debuting his remix of Tong’s and John Monkman’s original ‘Aurora’ The compilation features exclusives from some of the fastest rising stars in house music -Cristoph and Theo Kottis. Kottis’ dreamy, almost frantic, ‘Running Nowhere’ closes out the compilation in perfect fashion, with glistening piano chords and wind chimes fluttering to a crescendo. Earlier in the mix, Cristoph’s ‘Endoxus’ peters into the heart of the mix, setting the mood for the likes of Patrick Topping and Jey Kurnis. Both have had remarkable years on the club circuit, and their appearance on All Gone Pete Tong is a nod to those accomplishments.
